If this is true, I must have about 25 kids hidden somewhere. I'm not joking, lately I feel like I'm losing my mind. We are extremely busy with work, lots of classes, kid stuff, Brazil things, and more. I can't remember what I ate in the morning and I even checked yesterday to see if I actually put on underwear.Seriously, Suzy needs a little vacation from having to use her brain. It needs to be working on overdrive and instead it has an "elvis has left the building" sign on it.Anyone else feeling this way lately? if so, can I hear an Amen! LOLHave a great day!HugsSuzy

I've received several emails about the MTV show.Angel said they had a lot of fun filming on Saturday. They love Jerry, the camera guy. He's filmed them before and couldn't wait to film them again. Jerry travels all over the world filming all kinds of reality shows. He know's EVERYONE.The show is going to air on August 2nd. There is going to be a "engaged and underaged" (couples between the ages of 18 and 21 getting married) marathon that day leading up to a LIVE wedding in Time Square (never been done before).Then they will do the updates on some of their favorite couples that include Angel and Christian.They are excited about the show.HugsSuzy

I had the perfect weekend!! I hung out with all my girlfriends at the store. It was so much freaking fun!!! I got a layout done. The next day I was at work and continued to scrap. I got to hang out with Carla, Noel, and Rocio. It was so nice! Everyone that knows me knows that if I pull out a new set of alphabet and a few papers I will use them up until they are pretty much gone. LOL So You'll notice in these three layouts a lot of similar products. LOL

I'm boring but at least I got some pages done. I did another one but forgot to take a picture..it's called, "Listen up homegirl" and it's dedicated to ROCIO!LOL

Paul and the kids came by on Saturday to have lunch at work. It was so nice to have them there and to hang out for a while.That evening, the possee got together and we went to see JOHN MAYER in concert at the Shoreline. OMG we had the BEST TIME!!! We laughed HYSTERICALLY the entire night! We got our "seats" on the lawn and enjoyed a concert under the stars. It was so stinkin' cool! These are some of my favorite photos from the evening.

A guy came over and took this picture of the four of us. Rocio and Janice taking pictures of me dying of laughter A gal behind me took this picture Ro took this picture. Erin and I could not stop laughing I love this photo because it shows what we are like when we are together

Erin and I being...Erin and I I love you my sweet little buttercup So today I got up and spent the day with my family. We met up with Angel and her family and had lunch at Chevy's. We then went to the puppy store that we've been hanging out at by my store. It just opened and Sierra is in HEAVEN! My parents met us there and they loved on the puppies as well. We all then went to Angel's place and the kids went swimming. It was so nice! I took this picture of her view from her apartment. It's so beautiful! I feel so happy to have her be in a place that she loves so much.

Pictures from my perfect weekend! Hope you enjoyed them as much as I do.

My son is 14. What does he want to do? Play video games...like all the time. Does he want to go out with friends? Do anything fun? Nope, he wants to play games.So mommy got a little upset and took the game away.Son was very sad and mad. Mommy thought tooo bad.Son was so upset he didn't want to talk to mommy all day.Mommy called her son up and sweetly said, "You better chill or you can say good bye to your games forever"Son got over it fast and is now talking to mommy but is still upset. Mommy doesn't care because she wants son to have a life.Son is grounded from games for a week.If daddy is reading this...give son our game back before the week is over...(said in a sweet voice) you will be sleeping on the couch. :) Love ya.Okay mommy is going back to work now.

I'm back from a wonderful weekend in Chicago. Helen, Trish, Norma, and I worked the My Little Shoebox Booth. It was a blast and we had a very successful show.It was great to meet a lot of new people, see a lot of the people I've met in the past, and to do a lot of fun shopping for the store.We have a lot of exciting things happening for MLS. We've been asked to do a lot of work for magazines, tv shows, and more. I've been asked to teach in Brazil. I said I wasn't going to do a lot of traveling, but come on...it's BRAZIL!!

We've been waiting for the new products of My Little Shoebox to come in and they finally did! The product is so beautiful!!

The problem??? It's FOUR days before the show. I leave on Thursday so that means I have two days to create!! YIKES!!! "Mojo come back...mojo come back...mojo come back" that's what I've been chanting since the product came in. I created this layout right before I left work tonight. The entire layout is using MLS. Yup--papers, die cuts, mini letters, big letters, transparancies, and chipboard buttons. I really love the colors on this collection. (A little Birdie Told Me line)

--finding little love notes from my little one on my bed--being able to call friends late at night and they drop everything to come spend time with you!!!!LOL--getting emails from my gal pal while she is on vacation because she misses you already--is calling up a friend late at night while in bed just to chat about life.--scrapping with my daughter who doesn't feel great but she wants to spend time with you.

I loved Brooke! Didn't forget the lyrics and she was great!

Carly was like WOW! What a voice.

Kristy was good. I loved it when she sang, "God bless the USA".

I'm just a little late in posting Sierra's pictures. She turned 7 on the 4th of July! We got up early that morning, sang, made cupcakes, opened presents, and went over to my parents house.Everyone was there, we celebrated, ate food, and then headed out to Jack London Square. We watched a fantastic firework show while sitting right in front of the water. In the background was the Golden Gate bridge. It was a perfect night and Sierra had a "blast!"Sierra asked for just a couple of things for her birthday. One of things she wanted was a camera. She didn't want a kid one, she wanted a "REAL" one. So we got her a little camera. She LOVES it!! She's taken a lot of pictures.

Here are some of the shots that I took of her and below are some of the pictures she took!! She's got a great eye. I didn't see these until I uploaded them today with her.

Here are some that she took. She says she wants to put them up on her wall.

Dang I'm screwed!! LOL Okay so I haven't got a ticket for the LONGEST time!! I'm talking super long time. I've been pulled over several times in those years but I've talked my way out of them.So how do I talk myself out of a freakin' camera???? Oh yeah, I can't!! Dang it! I didn't even know the camera was there.So here's the story:

I have things going on all the time, so I'm on the phone ALL the time. Well even if I don't have something going on, I half to call Erin to tell her I saw a tree. LOLanyway, I was turning right on central and didn't stop...four times...in four weeks....so I got four tickets. Didn't know this, because I didnt' see the camera.

I got the first ticket....I found out because Paul called me...having a COW! I told him I thought it was a mistake. He told me to go online to watch myself driving.

I could NOT stop laughing....there's the video of me yapping away like a canary...I get to central and don't stop...not even a little! I just fly through there.

Next week...another ticket...not so funny...I see the video, Copy and paste the sentence above to know what I was doing.

The third ticket....(copy paste story...again) and now I'm freaking! Paul needs therapy over this.

Fourth...yeah....I am in TROUBLE!!!! Paul is coming home....so not happy. Crap, I better be nice...maybe I should make him his favorite meal...crap, I don't cook and don't have time to try to learn. I'll take him out. He comes home. Drops the ticket on the bed and walks out of the room. yeah...I'm screwed!

So I didn't realize not to do that until I had gotten all the tickets. Yeah, I know. I should have stopped. Now, I won't even drive down Central. It scares me. LOLI DO stop at all or almost all of the stop signs. I'm trying and think I'm doing a lot better.

oh....and I'm going to see the judge over them. Let's see if I can reduce the amount I have to pay.Here's to hoping.
